The ticketing experience was easy and smooth, although I did have to confirm how to get the tickets, as they were not initially showing in the app. This was answered immediately however, by headout, and I then had access to the tickets, so felt confident straight away The experience was very good, with a very knowledgeable guide for the walk about before entering Buckingham Palace. The Palace itself was excellent, and the portable audio system worked very well. The signage to follow the tour route was very clear and informative. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable event. Would recommend this.

I liked that we could go through the rooms at our own pace. The only complaint is that my little kids needed to use the toilet and the staff would not let them, because it just closed. We had to walk really far to find other restrooms with the kids complaining. Children don't always give a warning, so that was not fun.

I enjoyed the visit very much. Well organized, with the audio guide in Italian. Plus a paper guide is given as a gift and this was very much appreciated by me and my family. I am very satisfied with the service and the clear instructions I received. Definitely recommend the visit. Deserves.
